Gen. Fairchild has caused to no taken a
vote OF the dependant pension hill in G. A.
r. posts and will publish 1t in st. Louis II the
president visits that city In September.
The president held q public reception in the
cast Monday afternoon. 1t did not
last long. as only . few persons attended, ow-
ing to the fact that the reception to be given
vas not generally known.
Pension Commissioner Black has decided
to restrict the legal fee in cases Of attorneys
for Mexican pension claimants TO go. The
law allows . fee Of e35 where . contract ii
made II the pension commissioner shall ap-
prove It. General Black thinks that q go fee
fs ample in these cases, and will issue an or.
der restricting the fee in each case to tina,
amount.
Information has reached Washington as &c
. most extraordinary communication which
the German residents Of the Sandwich island.
have presented to H. F. Glad, the German
consul at Honolulu. 1t may serve to some
extent possibly to explain the numerous sen.
sattonal statements as to the condition Of af
fairs in that kingdom, and explain also tn.
necessity for the large loan which the agent,
OF Kalakaua are now %endeavoring to negoti
ate in England. The German merchants ex
plain in detail the bad administration of til,
king, which is sapping the foundations, they
cay, of social order.
The National Catholic university will mos
likely be located at Washington. Ri. Rev
Bishop John j. Keane, who has the matter IL
charge and has just returned from Rome Will
plenary power In the matter, Is an old-tim,
Washington priest. He was assistant priee'
at st. Patrick's church here, when he was ele
waited to the bishopric OF Richmond. He know
all the advantages which are afforded by I'll,
national capital to young men, and is natur
ally inclined to favor the city where some o
his dearest friends reside. The univcrsit,
will cost 81 100000 to build and about 500,
ocO to furnish with all necessary scientific az
paratus. New York is bidding for the uni
vefstty, as are several other cities, but It Il
safe to predict that Bishop Keanc will dccid,
upon Washington as the best educationa
center.
The Mount Vernon estate, where the re
mains of Washington lie entombed, has beer
enlarged by the addition of a tract of thirty
three and q half acres on the northern sid,
near the old Washington mansion. 1t wa,
secured through the generosity of Jay Gould
While on his way up the Potomac from For
trcss Monroe, recently, in his yacht, Mr.
Gould stopped rat Mount Vernon and ia.
shown around the grounds. He expressed
great interest in the place aud the admirabl,
manner in which 1t is cared for. In the cours,
of the conversation the superintendent re
marked that the tract in question was muci
needed to protect the property from cucroach
ment. Mr.. Gould Immediately authorized tn,
purchase of the land at his own expenss, ant
1t hah been bought and turned over to tn,

A PREHISTORIC RACE.
The Remains of an Ancient City Dis
covered in Arizona.

covered in Arizona.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IA correspondent
i'll to-day's Post, writing from Tucson, Ariz,
says that some very important discoveries
concerning prehistoric races have been made
during the past year by Prof Frank Cush-
man, who has charge of an exploring ex-
petition in the Salt river valley, in South
ern Arizona. The remains of an ancient
city were found. Investigation showed
that the city extended out III all directions
from palace or temple. The foundations
of many of the houses had been exposed,
many of them consisting of but a single
room, but now and then there would be one
of larger and more ample proportions, and
in most of these larger ones there had been
found burial vaults and skeletons. Two
thousand of these skeletons had been ex
humed. There was general burial ground
where the dead seemed to have been thrown
in promiscuously.
Large quantities of pottery were found
in the tombs and dwellings, The finer pieces
were of many different shades, but were all
of light color, with black markings and
figures, reminding one greatly of ancient
Egyptian pottery The interior specimens
look much like that made by the Arizona
Indians of to-day. No iron, copper or metal
instruments of any kind have been found,
but great quantities of stone axes, stone
pestles and mortars bone needles and
knives and other such materials as belong
to the stone age. But the skill with which
these articles we're made was far superior to
that shown by the Indians found in Ameri-
ca by the whites.
Mr.. Cushman had found a good deal of
wheat and barley and other grain, all of it,
of course, in a charred and blackened condi-
ton, and he had also traced several canals
and had found the ruins of large reSer
vor, SO that he had no doubt that extensive
irrigation had been carried on, and that all
the valley had been under cultivation. He
thinks there must have been population of
at least 5000 in the ruined city he was ex-
| ploring, and that most of the inhabitants
| lived by cultivating the soil of the surround
| ing country
| Mr.. Cushman thinks that these ancient
| jewellers suffered from some great calam-
| ty like the inhabitants of Herculaneum and
| Pompeii 1t was probably an earthquake.
| have found skeletons under the walls of
| houses, lying as if the walls had suddenly
| fallen upon the person and crushed him to
| death. They were no doubt a religious
people and strongly superstitious so that
| they saw in the calamity that befel them a
| warning to seek some other abode. They
| probably moved south, and it may have
| been their descendants that the Spani ards
found in Mexico. They were certainly
equal in intelligence and general advance
ment to the Aztecs."
Specimens of the houses and implements
have been gathered for the Smithsonian
| Institution, in the interest of which the
| investigation has been conducted.

Railroads Ask to be Allowed to Ad-

Railroads Ask to be Allowed to Ad-
vance transportation Rates.
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, Nov 9--The Rail
from A. B. Ma.on. II. r. Moran and Gen
Bentley, on the subject of allowing an ad-
vance on standard rates for freight and
passengers ON the jacksonville, Tampa and
Key West railway. The request for an
increase was based on figures showing that
on account of the small volume of business
in the State, the road is now unable to
make more thar running expenses, leaving
nothing for the improvement of the property
and interest on the bonds. Strong appeals
were made for advances on standard rates
especially on short and branch lines To-
morrow Hon. r. W. Davis and Mai Sher-
man Conant will appear in the interest of
the Illinois Southern railroad. Ths decis-
ions on the requests already made will
PROBABLY not be given out until all the roads
are heard from.
Arguments Tor and against the validity OF
the new Jacksonville charter were made in
the Supreme Court to-day by Fl. Bisbee and
w B. Young. The case was brought before
the court by an alternative writ of manda-
mus to compel performance of certain min
isterial duties imposed by the charter on the
County Commissioners of Duval county
sion of the Legislature, and Is alleged to be
weld because not passed in accordance with
the constitution of the State.
The United States Commissioner to-day
admitted to bail James Tarmine, of Liberty
county, for offenseS against the postal laws
Others charged with similar offenses were
discharged.
